Thread: port listening, which program?

  1. #1

    Question port listening, which program?

    using win OS. by using port scanners you are able to scan your puter for ports with all state, established, listening, etc... is there a way to find out which program or service that is using these ports? tq

    Well, nmap will tell you the name of the service (yes, I don't think nmap has been ported to windows, but please get acces to a *nix box if you want to do this kind of stuff). Plus the web has some lists to help you, like: bad service list and Port guide.

    Happy reading (and happy linux installing

    Nmap is available for Windows NT and will probably run under other Win versions aswell .

    You can find the NmapNT page at eEye Digital Security, it lacks some of the good features found when running under a *nix box, but it's a quite good port scanner.

    NMAP will only tell you what ports are open, not what services are using the port. If it is a standard RFC defined port, (21, 23, 25, etc.) then it is easy. Otherwise, I do not know of a way to find out other than stopping services one-by-one until the port is closed.

    Try Fport, get it from www.foundstone.com

    Use SuperScan and ShadowScan if you wanted to know deamons and services, and FTP soft
    and you must learn a lot, and visit www.xatrix.org if you want to be informed...
